Shaykh Abd al-Qadir Jilani lived almost a thousand years ago, but his words transcend the time and place in which they were recorded to span the centuries without difficulty. Revered to this day as the supreme spiritual helper...(al-Ghawth al-Azam), the Shaykh (may Allah be pleased with him) addresses his audience at a level that bypasses the obstacles of the heart and mind. The Removal of Cares is the latest in an ongoing series of translations of the Shaykh's spoken and written works, and has never been translated into English before. The forty-five discources contained in this volume were given in the year A.H. 546/1152 C.E. and were subsequent, generally speaking, to those recorded in the collection entitled The Sublime Revelation. Translated by Muhtar Holland, one of the foremost translators of classical Arabic, Revelations of the Unseen and other forthcoming volumes of the Shaykh's works should be a welcome addition to the library resources of the scholar and layman alike, and a great interest to students, teachers, and seekers of spiritual knowledge and understanding everywhere. |
